any clue what rpm are you guys clutches engaging at and what kind of clutch is it?

mr.ez · 03-11-2011, 05:10 PM

i,m running a 2001 yamaha g16 with a 16 vanguard with a custom made comet 94c[took 2 new clutches and machined stuff to work like i wanted],22" tires.it engages 1200-1500,and i can tune it to do different.i run a jr dragster[sun-pro] tact,so it should be pretty accurate.

I've got an idler bearing in my clutch, so I'm dropping in at about 1200.

I have mine at a lope idle, and it engages immediately..very low, I am using a stock clutch.

Both of mine engage at low rpm as well, 1200 max. The last one I used on the Geep1 cart is a CPP-06, good clutch in my opinion it's well made.

I have a Comet "780" on Wilson. Talked to Tom and he had a extra set of (purple, as I recall) stiffer springs. Now it engages at about 2000 rpm....It's "kick in the pance"

PS- after I received the spring kit, I couldn't figure out how to unstall them. Called Tom and he walked me thru it over the phone

Tom, thanks for all the help you've given me and to everyone at BGW!

My CV Tech came from Tom at CPP as well. He listened to what I was looking for and came up with this clutch. It exceeds my expectations

Can you take off smooth and drive slow like that or no? The reason I ask is I am looking at one that engages at 1800 but I would like to be able to drive around slow also.

Oh forgot to say thanks for the replies guys

I cant say...once warmed up......I nail it

Slow..you talking 5 mph? The stock springs were fine, engagement was smooth. Jadawg, talk to Tom, you will not be sorry, plus he's fun to talk to. I'm trying to find some stuff for you
